Egypt
Roughly translated: the Egyptian government wish to sent a group of experts in the field of art and archaeology to examine a sculpture which represents a woman, the property of the Jordi Clos foundation, exhibited in the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona. The authorities suspect that it was taken from the country illegally. The piece concerned dates to the Old Kingdom (5th Dynasty, c.2500BC), which represents a woman named Nefret, the wife of a noble, made from limestone and c.43cm tall.

"El Gobierno egipcio quiere enviar a Barcelona un grupo de expertos en arte y arqueología para examinar una escultura que representa a una mujer, propiedad de la Fundación Jordi Clos, y que se halla expuesta en el Museo Egipcio de Barcelona. Las autoridades sospechan que pudiera haber salido de manera ilegal de aquel país. Se trata de una pieza del Imperio Antiguo (5ª Dinastía faraónica, fechada alrededor del año 2.500 años antes de Cristo), que representa a una mujer llamada Nefert, esposa de un noble, realizada en piedra caliza policromada de unos 43 centímetros de altura."
